1897 Loeber Token Maker? Help to Identify

[amyseekstreasure]

Hi I purchased this at a yard sale and was told it is a token maker. The item is marked Loeber Mfg Co pat March 23 97, Clev O. Its all metal and you can see the mold inside for a token which I can't get a picture of. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you

Does it look anything like Macks link or this one?

It does look like the token, without the middle logo.

It would be cool if you could post a pic of the imprint. The more pics the better to help solve this mystery. What is the size of the token?

Does it pull open and snap back from the spring? Does it look as if it can be hit with a hammer? Put a penny in it and see it it makes any marks. Maybe its a lead token maker.
